MODERATORS
Was EA even doing anything with any of the actually good IPs they had? I haven't heard of anything particularly interesting coming from them in a while now (ie. decades).
I mean, they published Split Fiction and Tales of Kenzera this year and their Star Wars games were more than decent (let's hear it for the atrociously underrated X-Wing revival they made with Squadrons). They also published the C&C Remaster that same year, which I feel doesn't get enough credit despite getting a lot of credit. Probably one of the best examples of one of those in recent memory.
Let's not be disingenuous, none of that is their bread and butter, but it's not like they were entirely dormant.
I didn't hear about a C&C remake... Well, shit!
It's pretty good. Comes with both C&C and Red Alert, plus a bunch of extras. Definitely worth it.
If only it wasn't EA
It's been EA since a different millenium. I think it's time to get over it.
FWIW, the remake itself was made by an external studio including members of the original team and they apparently collaborated closely with some sort of consulting group of modders and preservation-focused community people.
Nah, principles > entertainment.
And as much as I loved C&C and Red Alert as a kid, it's a bygone age thing. But I am surprised they actually made a remake. Didn't see that coming.
"Principles"? Man, is that self-indulgent.
Yeah, principles. Some people have them.
Well, yeah, but those principles don't typically relate to videogame companies nor to purchase habits regarding 30 year old videogames.
Voting with your wallet is ultracapitalist, self-serving non-activism people deploy performatively to make themselves feel better about stuff they don't care that much about, not "principles". No offense.
Sure.
